Question from Wikipubliceditorpro (03:31, 19 April 2024) edit

Hello! I've noticed that most of my 'Easy' suggested edits just ask me to revise "misspelled" words that are mostly just names that are incorrectly flagged. Is there a way for me to mark it as correct and contribute so that it doesn't falsely show up on another persons suggested edits page? --Wikipubliceditorpro (talk) 03:31, 19 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello Wikipubliceditorpro, and welcome to Wikipedia! Can you give me examples of pages that have been incorrectly flagged? 141Pr -\contribs/- 12:36, 19 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Question from Sbrizvi (21:25, 21 April 2024) edit

Hello, I want to add a new article/ wiki page for Ansar Burney's new book, Awaaz: Echoes of Freedom and Justice.

The page will have information about the book, media articles, and coverage, Burney's interviews, and also book reviews published in different newspapers.

Can you please help me? --Sbrizvi (talk) 21:25, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

WikiCup 2024 May newsletter edit

The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014.

The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:

The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

If you would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please see this page. Further questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Question from EricKugel (00:45, 3 May 2024) edit

Hello, thank you for mentoring! I recently edited the "The Michaels Companies" page with a very obvious change, and within minutes someone reverted my edit and messaged me, threatening to block me for "vandalism". Thankfully, a very nice editor stepped in and helped. My question is how the first person was able to see my edit so quickly, and why did they so quickly accuse me of vandalism when it very obviously wasn't? Was it a bot? And if so, how were they able to find an edit so quickly? Is there a feed somewhere of incoming edits, or were they just watching the page? Sorry for the deluge of questions... --EricKugel (talk) 00:45, 3 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
